4.5

Good choice for mystery lovers who enjoy forays into anthologies of short stories, and, also a good introduction to mystery fiction for anyone who has not yet gotten into the pool.  Excellent choices of authors - nice mix of the very well established and  some up and coming talent.
I find collections of short stories are great books when flying, or just before bed when I need to shut down.
